I wanna know this, too  

Just washing them really good. Also if you have already boiled them the damage is done.

I just wash mine in hot water and soap.

Just put them in the washer or hand wash them yourself. You don't need to sterilize bottles.  

Don't they sell sterilizers that go with avent bottles as well? You can pop it in the microwave and voila!

Microwaving them and also the dish washer is the same thing as boiling them.

When my daughter was in the SCBU they always told me I needed to steralize them,and I have so far so I dont understand.

they told me i needed to in the hospital.. and they knew i had avents... im so scared now

So if I sterilized my daughters Avent bottles do I need to get all new bottles for the new baby?? I dont even know what this BPA thing is..... someone please inform me. She was primarily breastfed and didnt use them often.... but now I'm all worried.

Avent bottles have bpa in them. WHen the bottle is heated up bpa is then released in to the milk. Here is a news story on bpa

is Bisphenol-A, and what are the issues surrounding BPAAVENT is aware of the recent media reports focusing on Bisphenol A (BPA) and polycarbonate. We would like to help our customers better understand why many companies, including AVENT, use these materials to manufacture baby bottles.

Polycarbonates are used in thousands of consumer products such as reusable food containers, lifesaving medical devices and sport safety equipment. Manufacturers of such products, including baby bottles use polycarbonate because it prevents cracking, shattering and other hazards that can lead to injuries. The key concern for parents is whether BPA can get into their child's food through leaching from polycarbonate bottles.

Various governing bodies have found as follows:

• In November 2005 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reconfirmed the safety of the use of polycarbonate for food contact including baby feeding bottles stating that "based on all the evidence available at this time, the FDA sees no reason to change its long-held position that current uses with food are safe." Extensive reviews by the U.S. National Toxicology Program and independent scientists under the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis have determined that BPA used in consumer products does not pose a risk to human health. International regulatory agencies responsible for consumer protection, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the UK Food Standards Agency, the German Federal Institute of Risk Assessment, and the Japanese Ministry of Health have all studied the use of BPA and concluded that it can be used in the manufacture of baby bottles.

All plastics used in AVENT products are FDA-approved and recognized as "safe for food contact application." AVENT Bottles are also independently tested in accordance with and comply with the latest European Standard for Drinking Equipment for Children-EN14350: 2004 which looks specifically at the acceptable daily intake of BPA for children. By looking to these acknowledged authorities, AVENT will continue to deliver the best products to customers.

AVENT is committed to meeting or exceeding the standards set by the FDA and all other acknowledged authorities around the world. Our bottles have been and will continue to be used by millions of healthy babies in over 70 countries worldwide
